humanitarian aid has yet to reach many areas — especially in syria — and survivors are having to shelter outside in freezing temperatures. 0ur correspondent howard johnson has this report. four days on and time is running out to find survivors of monday's double earthquake. but this british team working in turkey is still delivering results. against the odds, a mother is reunited with her young daughter. an unforgettable hug matched by a priceless smile. elsewhere, in north—west syria, baby aya recovers. the scars on her body tell the story of her harsh entry into the world. she was born under the rubble of the earthquake, found in her mother's arms. she is now having to survive alone. her mother, herfather and all four of her siblings have perished. translation: she arrived on monday

in such a bad state. _ she had knocks and bruises. she was cold and barely breathing. her plight has moved people all over the world but, for now, the hospital manager is taking care of her, his wife breast—feeding aya alongside her own daughter. translation: i will not allow anyone to adopt her. - she has some distant family and, until they come, i will treat her like one of my own. sadly, these survival stories are becoming increasingly rare. in turkey, a family's desperate shout goes unanswered. "the children are four and six years old. "it has been four days," says this woman. her nieces are trapped inside. "my god, my god, please return them to us," she says. they dig deep into the building. but there is no sign of the children. with thousands dispossessed and in freezing conditions, there is an acute need for aid. 0vernight, a royal air force flight

packed with a field hospital and emergency supplies set off for turkey. the uk's disasters emergency committee is appealing for donations, with the uk government matching the first £5 million raised by the public. howard johnson, bbc news. we can speak now to our middle east correspondent tom bateman, who is in the southern turkish city of adana. good morning to you. tell us your latest summing up of the situation where you are. this is one of the camps set up, official turkish aid camps in the city of adana. these are notjust people whose homes have been destroyed but people also from many of the tower blocks that are cracked and unsafe and where there is

concern and they have had to evacuate. there is a serious homelessness problem in the city. we saw turkish troops yesterday and the day before starting to set up tents. people are starting to get some aid. there is food here. we have been chatting to some residents. they say it is extremely cold, very cold again overnight. it is hard for people to sleep. they are exhausted after the shock they experience. another big problem is hygiene. there is no washing facilities here yet. as you get further afield, things get harder and harder. we have heard reports from close to the epicentre of the earthquake that although they have opened mosques and schools, there is a scarcity of beds. many people are unable to sleep. those having to walk around at night wrapped in blankets with children, the only way people can

stay warm. i children, the only way people can stay warm-— children, the only way people can stay warm. i know there has been criticism within _ stay warm. i know there has been criticism within turkey _ stay warm. i know there has been criticism within turkey of - stay warm. i know there has been criticism within turkey of how - stay warm. i know there has been | criticism within turkey of how well the government there has reacted. in terms of foreign aid arriving, what have you seen?— terms of foreign aid arriving, what have you seen? what we have seen most of our — have you seen? what we have seen most of our search _ have you seen? what we have seen most of our search and _ have you seen? what we have seen most of our search and rescue - have you seen? what we have seen. most of our search and rescue teams and we saw a lot of those when we arrived to adana airport in the 24—hour is following the earthquake. they have been dispatched across the region. clearly, there is not enough of that, because of the scale of the earthquake. in terms of foreign aid, i have not seen evidence of that in this city. certainly reports it is being rushed in and we hear more announcements from foreign governments about the amount of money, the best part of $100 million the us said they would give overnight to the relief effort. the problem is access to the more remote areas, areas at the centre of the

quake, and the scale of this which is proving overwhelming. we heard about problems of getting aid into rebel—held areas of north—west syria. the white helmets rescue group saying that although there has been one un convoy, it is not specialist equipment they need to get people from the rubble, so there is urgent need they say is not being addressed. ., ~ , ., this is the scene from gaziantep. this is where the epicentre of the earthquake was. yesterday we showed you similar scenes of rescuers using hands to search the rubble. as we heard yesterday, this is often a sign, when we are not seeing the big machinery into clear buildings, that there is still some hope of finding survivors in the rubble. at the moment, of course, rescue teams are

using all resources to search for any potential survivors. but remember we are four days on now. throughout the programme we will bring you updates from turkey and syria. and bring you up—to—date with the fundraising. you may have seen last night the appeal asking for people to give money for aid to go to those places are more on that throughout the programme. today marks two weeks since nicola bulley disappeared whilst walking her dog in lancashire. the search for her has now shifted from the river near to where she vanished, to further downstream and out towards sea. nick garnett has been taking a look at the story so far. two weeks ago, nicola bulley spent the morning getting her children ready for school and taking the dog for a walk. nicola was seen by a fellow dog walker at ten to nine. and then again at ten past nine in a field further along the river bank.

at 9.20, police have now established her phone was left on a riverside bench. 13 minutes later, her phone was found, along with her dogs harness. but nicola had disappeared. and that is all we know for sure. and the police think she fell down into the river and drowned. but it is a theory. there is no actual evidence for it. nevertheless, a specialist search team volunteered to help and, using sonar equipment, combed the bottom of the river in the village, but nothing was found in the stretch of river they were working in. if nicola was in that river, i would have found her, i can guarantee you that. we would have found her and she is not there in that section of the river up there. for her partner, it has been two weeks of hell. right now, it is as though she has vanished into thin air. yeah. just insane. police have consistently called this a missing persons inquiry. there is no evidence of a crime. our main working hypothesis,

therefore, is that nicola has sadly fallen into the river, that there is no third party or criminal involvement and that this is not suspicious, but a tragic case of a missing person. but that has not stopped some people thinking otherwise. social networks are awash with conspiracy theories. there have even been wannabe detectives coming to buildings like this, breaking into them and starting to search through them. police say they have thoroughly searched everywhere in a one—mile radius and will take action against anyone found making offensive comments online. they have also issued what are called dispersal orders against anyone committing anti—social behaviour. despite the police's thorough search, there is one blind spot. this is the only path out of this whole area that is not covered by a cctv camera. so if she came out of this way, where did she go at this point? if you turn around and look

here, it is a busy road. hundreds of cars were going past here at nine o'clock on a friday morning. and, since then, the police have tracked 700 vehicles going past at the time nicola went missing. with there being no sign of nicola at st michael's on wyre, the search has been widened downstream. but instead of a small meandering river, the wyre estuary, it is huge. from here, the river becomes the sea. the police are now tasked with searching the inlets and marshland. two weeks after nicola bulley went missing, the mystery surrounding her disappearance continues. nick garnett, bbc news, lancashire. 0ur reporter mairead smith is live in st michael's on wyre. this is torture for little's family, two weeks on? it this is torture for little's family, two weeks on?— two weeks on? it is. what has

happened _ two weeks on? it is. what has happened here _ two weeks on? it is. what has happened here is _ two weeks on? it is. what hasl happened here is unimaginable two weeks on? it is. what has - happened here is unimaginable for family, friends and the community. the attention it has brought because we cannot believe what has happened, that a woman has vanished. police are still convinced she fell into the river. specialist search teams and police divers, experts at finding anything in the water have not been able to find out. that search is now probably got more difficult as it has extended down towards this river where it meets the sea, about ten miles of river with inlets and stretches of water. police will continue thatjob until, experts say, it is time to stop. but the investigation will continue. today, nicola's friends will remind people about what happened here two weeks ago. they will be on the roads around the small village with posters of nicola, just hoping that by chance there is in any way a

possibility of some information that has not been given to lancashire police, but that may be able to come forward. police have also taken action against people who have come to the area, who thought it appropriate to break into buildings to try to do what they think it is a helpful thing to help find nicola. that is not a helpful activity. dispersal orders were put in place by police, lasting two before nine o'clock tonight. but police clear they do not want people coming here using this as social media content. they want to concentrate on their job and continue the search for nicola bulley who has been missing two weeks. . ~ nicola bulley who has been missing two weeks. ., ~ , ., labour has comfortably held the seat of west lancashire, in a by—election. ashley dalton secured a majority of more than 8,000 over the conservatives. the vote was triggered when labour veteran rosie cooper, who represented the seat for 17 years, resigned.

thousands of ambulance staff across five services in england will strike again today in the ongoing row over pay and conditions. the industrial action will involve all ambulance employees, including call centre and control room staff, but paramedics will still attend life—threatening emergencies. staff at 150 universities across the uk are also taking industrial action today. the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, who's currently being investigated following allegations of bullying, says he's confident that he behaved professionally at all times. mr raab — who is also thejustice secretary — is the subject of eight formal complaints covering his time at three different government departments. he denies all the allegations. look, i'm not going to comment on the anonymous reports in the media. my experience is they are mostly incorrect. i'm confident i have behaved professionally at all times and, of course, i called for an inquiry and i will respect it. it's being billed as the hottest ticket in town. 10,000 people are being given

the chance to go to the concert at windsor palace to celebrate king charles' coronation in may. the tickets will be free, but you'll have to enter a ballot first, which opens in about an hour's time. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has the details. less than a year after pop and rock royalty came together to celebrate the late queen's platinum jubilee, a coronation concert will be staged to celebrate the ceremonial beginning of her son's reign. windsor castle will provide a spectacular backdrop, with some of the world's biggest entertainers, according to the bbc, which will stage and broadcast the event. i tell you now, this is going to be something like we have never ever experienced. it will be a world—class orchestra. we have the best of the british and commonwealth acts from all over, between singing, dancing, performing, the arts. the orchestra will be playing along with every single performance that happens. it really, really is going to be incredible. there are going to be 10,000 members of the public there, as well. you cannot imagine the vibe

that is going to be about. there are 5000 pairs of tickets, all free, which will be allocated via a national ballot. members of the public can apply up until the 28th of february. tickets will be allocated to ensure a fair geographical spread across the uk, so not on a first come, first served basis. the remaining tickets will also be made available to various charities, including those working with young people and the military. it is now less than three months until king charles is crowned at westminster abbey. the long weekend is taking shape, but, between now and then, there will be plenty more detail to come. sarah campbell, bbc news. now the weather with matt. good morning. good morning. friday at last and not a bad day with dry weather in the south and east. in the north and west, you might need something waterproof with rain.

nothing desperately heavy but breezy once again, especially in parts of scotland. at the moment, a contrast north and south with a sharp frost in southern parts. but, 1a degrees and warmer in north—west scotland but it is here we have a lot of cloud. some rain in the far north affecting 0rkney. elsewhere, blue indicates some rain and drizzle. that will come and go with cloud in western scotland and parts of northern ireland north—west england. extending into wales in the afternoon and heavy rain later in parts of northern scotland. the best of the sunshine towards the south and east where we have the wind at the lightest. temperatures lifting to 9 degrees. elsewhere, even with the cloud, a fairly mild afternoon. temperatures up to 13 celsius in parts of north—east scotland so above where we should be at this time of year. that leads to a milder

night. some drizzle around western areas. cloudy. some breaks in the cloud. temperatures staying clear of a frosty night. the weekend, many places staying dry, some sunshine, but often cloud. more details later. let's take a look at today's papers. the sun leads with the ongoing search for missing mum nicola bulley. 0fficers, pictured on the paper's front page, searched morecambe bay yesterday. the paper says she was last spotted nearly two hours before the police were called. the telegraph leads with news that the former culture secretary nadine dorries will stand down as an mp at the next election. it reports that the development means a total of 18 conservative means a total of 18 conservative mps will now no longer attempt to defend their seat. the guardian features a black and white image of the late singer burt bacharach whose death aged 94, was announced yesterday. and one of the most read stories

on the bbc news website this morning is of a surprise encounter between the princess of wales and her former school teacher, during a visit to falmouth. jim embury, now a volunteer at the national maritime museum, was among the crowd gathering to greet the royal couple. i should have brought this up with matt who can explain the science behind it. i have seen this picture today. this is london. but they literally look like... that is the centre of london and it looks like it is floating in the cloud. richard clarke saw these as he flew in from new york. canary wharf and the city covered in mist. an extraordinary image. the cloud sitting amongst the buildings. like cotton wool. this inside the

daily telegraph. a writer doing an experiment with her teenage children using an old phone for week so you have no connection to the internet. she took away their smartphones. and what would the result be? she said they were a revelation because they spent more time doing stuff together. an experiment people do once in awhile. good—natured. awhile. good—natu red. looking at awhile. good—natured. looking at some of the phones, if you wanted to do that, i am not sure you can see this, a nod back to the past. do you remember this one? the nokia 3310. i had one and i loved that phone. great battery life. 0ther great battery life. other phones available, of course. it had a reboot called the iconic retro option. all you can do is make calls and text. it does have

bluetooth. that was a phone, people remember theirfirst bluetooth. that was a phone, people remember their first phones. some people still have that. that was one of the first properly small mobile phones. it was thick. the battery lasted for weeks. forever. it was great. in the next hour, we'll find out if the uk is officially in recession. ben's on a building site in manchesterfor us this morning. it is cold out there i think. all eyes today on the numbers. yes all eyes on the numbers and we will get them about the time construction work begins on this site. this will be a nine story office building. it is in manchester and one of 25 construction projects that started in the area last year. the construction industry tends to

reflect the economy and we know the uk economy has been having a tough time. inflation, average price rises, at a a0 year high and interest rates have gone up to bring that under control. businesses and households face high energy costs which leaves people with less money to spend buying and doing things. the international monetary fund warned the uk would be the only major economy to shrink over the coming year. the bank of england says a recession would be less severe and shorter than previously expected, lasting just over a year as it expects energy and food prices to fall in the coming months. after 7am we will find out if the uk economy tipped into recession. what does it mean for you? i have been finding out. getting a healthy, growing economy takes careful calculations — much like the work at this brewery in camden, north london.

they know that even a perfect brew isn't enough for the business to grow. it needs the wider economy to do well, with people spending more. if the economy is growing, it means that consumer sentiment is high. people are going out more. they're going to pubs, bars and restaurants where our products are served. they may be entertaining a lot more. when it's shrinking and there's less money in their bank accounts, they may be less likely to go out to pubs. so what we saw in 2022 is over 32 pubs a month shut. and if the economy continues in the same vein this year, we may see that trend continue. the total value of everything that's produced and sold in the economy is known as gdp, or gross domestic product. when that number gets bigger, we talk about the economy growing. it indicates that people are spending more, businesses are investing and hiring more staff, and people might generally feel living standards rising. when the economy shrinks, well,

the opposite is true. and when it changes byjust a fraction of a per cent from one three—month period to the next, it might not sound like much, so why does it matter? if the economy is growing, it's probably easier to find a job, a job that you want. you might get a pay rise, a pay rise that matches inflation. inflation price growth is usually lower than it is now. so in times of prosperity, you might see higher—than—inflation wage growth. but, at the moment, most people aren't. but in a recession, typically, people find it more difficult to find a job. businesses are struggling. they're probably seeing lower profits. so they're going to freeze hiring or possibly make people redundant. so why isn't the economy performing better? well, there are various factors, but they include the high cost of energy and food, leaving households with less money to spend on buying and doing things after covering the monthly essentials. then there are the strikes. if people aren't going to work

or can't get to work, businesses produce less. and then there's the high number of vacancies that many firms say they are struggling to fill, with fewer people available to work, partly due to the pandemic and partly due to brexit. today's gdp figures tell us what happened during last year. as for what this coming year will serve up, well, respected economists predict there'll be little cause to raise a glass to the strength of the uk economy. we can dig into that in more detail. john hughes is with me. what is the state of construction? it acts as a barometer as to the health of the economy. it barometer as to the health of the econom . , , barometer as to the health of the econom. , __ , barometer as to the health of the econom. , _, economy. it is very busy. there is a lot of cranes _ economy. it is very busy. there is a lot of cranes in _ economy. it is very busy. there is a lot of cranes in the _ economy. it is very busy. there is a lot of cranes in the skyline - economy. it is very busy. there is a lot of cranes in the skyline in - lot of cranes in the skyline in manchester and salford and we work in manchester, leeds, newcastle. we have seen issues in terms of

the state of the uk economy after seven o'clock and i will bring those and let you know what they mean for you. studio: thanks. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. more donations flood in from the capital to help people affected by the earthquakes in turkey and syria. the city of london corporation has donated £50,000 to the cause. it's urging other city businesses to do the same. the donation will go to those co—ordinating the relief effort on the ground and help with basics like shelter and medicine another day, another strike. today it's university staff from the university and college union. ambulance staff are also staging walk—outs for a second day in a dispute over pay. downing street says the continuing industrial action will be a concern to the public. life—threatening 999 calls will be

attended to but others may not be. i have committed that we will provide a life and limb emergency service to people and london, and londoners, and i'm confident on friday we will be able to do the same. but a life and limb emergency service is not the same as a full service. we will have just less than half the number of ambulances available compared to a normal day, and our response times will be longer. but if you have a life and limb threatening emergency, please phone 999. a derelict set of railway arches, once home to one of london's finest wine and spirits merchants, has been restored as part of a £3 million investment. next to london bridge station, the renovation work has seen edwardian buildings brought back to life as well the discovery a glass mosaic. the victorian frontage was amazing. and then when they reworked the bridge in 1900, they built the fabulous ceramic—clad facade

that's behind me now. and it really grabs your attention in the edwardian baroque style. really special architecture for london at the turn of the century. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's severe delays on the overground this morning. other than that, it's all looking good. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. it is another cold start this morning, a widespread frost, as temperatures last night dropped back down below zero, but plenty of sunshine, the sunshine turning a little hazy as we get through the afternoon, so you can see barely any cloud. a cold and crisp start to the day, but gradually the cloud will start to sink south. sunshine turns hazier through the afternoon, temperatures still reaching 10 celsius as a maximum. 0vernight we are going to hang on to the cloud, a few breaks potentially, underneath which the temperature will be a little cooler, but also we could see one or two mist and fog patches forming. minimum temperature widely not as cold as last night, staying above zero at 2 celsius.

the weekend is largely dry. quite settled through the weekend, high pressure in charge, quite a bit of cloud, a few brighter spells, a little less cold but also the chance of some mist and fog patches. any tomorrow morning will lift, it is going to be largely cloudy though for saturday. temperatures in double figures. night—time temperatures that's it from me. more on our webiste and we've got lots more on our instagram and twitter channels. see you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. there's growing concern this morning for the survivors of the earthquakes in turkey and syria. 20,000 people are now believed to have died, but the head of the united nations has warned that a catastrophe is still "unfolding before our eyes" as survivors are left without shelter, food and water, in freezing conditions. there's particular concern for people in syria,

where a long—running civil war has devastated the country, making it a challenge to get aid and supplies to the area. this is the scene from gaziantep this morning. here in the uk, people are collecting donations and one turkish haulage firm has been collecting to send to affected areas. take us through what is happening and when it will be sent. this is just this isjust a this is just a small section. this isjust a small section. this is a turkish international removals company which normally sends things to turkey. it has paused all adverts cargo and is focusing on the relief effort. blankets, nappies, baby food, tents, heaters, shoes. they

have already sent one lorry load and another is going this morning. they have been overwhelmed by the generosity of people here. this isn't the only hop across the country. across the country, i have been to one in bristol, normally a turkish mosque, currently a donation centre. sorting, packing and labeling tonnes of clothes and shoes. everyone here is linked to the earthquake. one of my friends, her entire house came down like a stack of paper cards and her and herfamily were in the house as it happened. so it was quite stressful trying to get into communication with her and her family. her brother and sister were caught up. she's been desperate to talk to them. no—one answered the phones and i was really worried. and then at the end, they answered phone calls. they said they're fine, theyjust lost their homes, and, you know, and they were on the street, basically. and even though derya and her husband now live in bristol,

theirfamily are all still in turkey. the cousin of my husband died. she was in the flat. she's devastated and she's really sad. and it's hard for the family of my husband. currently, yourfamily are sleeping in either their car or a health centre. they were in the car at first and now they are in the health centres. i lost one friend and my former colleague went missing. they sent a lorry yesterday and a second one is setting off tomorrow. well, here in bristol, they have been overwhelmed with donations. now they're asking for no more clothes, just money. and the devastation has affected turkish communities across the uk. from our widerfamily,

we at least lost four to six families and at least another four to five families are still on the rubble. and some of them lost lost contact altogether. nobody knows if they are under rubble or have they managed to to get out. everything has been destroyed in the city. my brother's there. my brother's wife has families under rubble. still no any contact. they had hope to find anything. and i've just been speaking with my dad today, but my dad has been screaming, crying. all he says, we live in the dark, cold, but i don't know how long we can make it. as the death toll continues to rise, donations are beginning to filter into turkey, but getting them to where they're most needed is now

elite group. fans were outraged and it was kicked into touch and they apologised and pulled out. now there are plans forming in italy and spain especially saying they have a new idea, 60—80 clubs involved, it'll be fine, not a close group, it'll be fair to all. convinced? the new plans have already been met with raised eyebrows. some people say it is the same old proposals in disguise but those behind it say it would be based on fair competition and financial benefits would help clubs further down the footballing ladder. april 2021, and english football's great rivals were united. say no to the super league! six premier league clubs had planned tojoin a european super league with six more from the continent. they hoped to break free from the pyramid, but instead they hit a wall. i want to apologise to all the fans, supporters

of liverpool football club, for the disruption i caused over the past a8 hours. amid contrition and derision, all six pulled out. but two years on, a sports management company has put forward new plans. a22 say the foundations of football are in danger of collapsing — it's time for change. it's the clubs that bear football's entrepreneurial risk. three clubs in europe still stand by the super league — juventus, barcelona and real madrid. they now want it to have up to 80 teams with entry based on merit, but it would still be run by the clubs. what we see today is a pretty desperate rehashing of their original concept by the the three clubs, effectively, who remain in what was the european super league, who seem to be in denial of the fact that their project is dead. football's far too important in this country and across europe to be allowed to have its future determined on the basis of the profit sheets of billionaires

who own individual clubs. spain's top flight tweeted this. "the super league is the wolf of little red riding hood and the same elitist project." the new plans have addressed some points of concern, and they say that funds will trickle down. but the esl faced a backlash football's rarely seen before. to win their sport round, it would be some come—back. joe lynskey, bbc news. chelsea are into the women's league cupfinalyet again, after a 7—0 thrashing of west ham. sam kerr was the star of the show, scoring four, including a first—half hat—trick, to book a place in the final, for the fourth year running. they will battle arsenal for the trophy at crystal palace's ground, early next month. rangers narrowed the gap at the top of the scottish women's premier league to four points, thanks to a a—0 victory overs hibs. kirsty elizabeth howart—thomson scored the pick of the bunch as she netted rangers second

and third goals. now a sad day for fans of worcester warriors rugby union team. that name is now part of history after plans to start afresh in the championship next season were scrapped. and so instead they are planning to rebrand as sixways rugby. warriors had been given until valentine's day to meet the sport's criteria to play in the second division. but the people leading a takeover pulled out of talks adding that "we're starting afresh. we believe it's time for a new start." so sixways — named after the site where the ground is — could start life down the fourth tier with the hope of rising again. the last seven months during this whole process, the various stakeholders, including the fan base, have been asking for transparency, openness and honesty as to what's going on. we couldn't be open and transparent with them because of the non—disclosure agreements that we were under. this is our first opportunity to tell people exactly what we're going to do, the journey that we're going on, and to invite them to come and be part of that journey with us and part of our community. now, normally it's cristiano ronaldo, getting asked for his autograph,

but not last night... after a drought near the desert for this new club, al nassr, the 38 year old found an oasis, with a goals in a single match, cue his trademark celebration, and to mark reaching 500 league goals across his career, he got the referee to sign his match ball and also wanted a picture with the official. the official doesn't look like the most excited person, kind of why are you asking me? also his 61st hat—trick. she's a european champion, queen of thejungle, and now former lioness jill scott has had a new football pitch named in her honour. it's the first of 23 pitches to be named after the team. alison freeman has the story. oh, good tackle. can you stop it? well done. back on the pitch she played on as a child, and now this ground at boldon near sunderland is being named afterjill scott

to honour her part in that euros—winning team who brought home the first silverware for an international football tournament since 1966, inspiring those that train there now. like 13—year—old sophie. i'm buzzing. i've been waiting to meet someone like her for ages. honestly, she'sjust like... it'sjust a dream to be, like, in her, like, footsteps. ijust want to be just like her. without boldon girls, i would never have gone on to the kind of success that i've had. after the ground was officially named afterjill, sophie finally got to meet her idol and ask her about that win. how did you feel when the final whistle blew? 0h, ijust couldn't believe it. i think even now, i haven't watched that game back cos it was just, like, an unbelievable feeling.

so, yeah, probably the best day of my life. and i don't think anything will ever beat it. my age, like, what's the next step to being a great player? you've got to keep enjoying it. do you enjoy it? i think that's the biggest thing. and then also, if you do want to keep progressing through the levels, it sounds really cheesy, but there's just no short cuts, you've got to just put in the hard work. so this is a scrapbook i've kept over the years. there's a couple of clips ofjill in that game, scored a treble hat trick. jill's former coach, paul smith, founded boldon girls back in 1982. the pitch, now named after her, is very special to him. this is where i got the idea, like, you know, we'll start the girls playing football. obviously, the facilities now are much better because back in the day whenjill was playing, we had to play on grass pitches and during the winter there was no way to train. just to ask you about paul smith. he's still here, he's still coaching.

what's it like to see the man that helped you, still helping the next generation? oh, it's crazy. he must have been here about 30 years, which is showing my age, but it's fantastic to see paul. and you know what? he did it so many years, no money. he used to taxi us around, he used to be the coach. he'd literally do every single job. so i know how excited he is now that the girls are going to have pitches like this. the funding for the pitches named after the lionesses came largely from the football foundation, which aims to increase access to the sport. we don't have much national football success in this country, and we should really celebrate it. and whatjill and her teammates achieved was fantastic and such an inspiration for young girls. so we really wanted to take the opportunity to name a lot of our pitches after them, to get girls out there playing and really feeling and really embracing the power of what the lionesses did. i was trying to find you up front. and jill's visit today had the desired effect. to play with her, it was just so good. and when she passed us the ball, it wasjust amazing. it's really inspiring i

and it was amazing. just a good person to follow and try and fill in her footsteps. to me, it could be like a once in a lifetime opportunity. - really inspiring to see her play football because that makes everyone else want to be like her. for sophie, it's a day she'll neverforget. it was like a dream to meet her. it gave us a bit more confidence, i think. one day, do you think there might be a pitch named after you? hopefully. i mean, hopefully i might. never know, i might get a pitch named after me. watch this space. alison freeman, bbc news near sunderland. and the timing is apt because yesterday the fa revealed proposals that they think they can improve pathways for young girls getting into football. they want to stop talent going abroad. jill scott,

having that permanent legacy, it's the ideal way to help out. i know you've filmed quite a bit with some of those stars, their women football stars we have in this country now, and the impact they have on the pitch with those youngsters is fantastic. find have on the pitch with those youngsters is fantastic. and the jill scott stadium, _ youngsters is fantastic. and the jill scott stadium, pitch, - youngsters is fantastic. and the jill scott stadium, pitch, it's - jill scott stadium, pitch, it's there forever.— jill scott stadium, pitch, it's there forever. it's good weather this weekend _ there forever. it's good weather this weekend i _ there forever. it's good weather this weekend i think. _ there forever. it's good weather this weekend i think. matt - there forever. it's good weather this weekend i think. matt will i there forever. it's good weather. this weekend i think. matt will tell as more. it won't be as cold this weekend, not quite as cold as it has been. temperatures on the rise and after a few sunny days across england and wales, a bit more cloud pushing in. still breezy across parts of scotland today. you can see what's happening, the cloud pushing in from

the atlantic, thickening up, but it has brought in milder air. chilly across southern areas, —5 in some southern counties of england, a widespread frost, but some hazy sunshine with cloud increasing. some drizzle in heavy bursts in the north west highlands and islands this morning. thicker cloud in north—west wales could produce some drizzle. windy in north—west areas with lighter winds in the south with hazy sunshine. temperatures 8—9, a little above where we should be. but substantially above in parts of scotland, 13 degrees in parts of aberdeenshire. tonight with milder air it is not as not as cold as last night. some drizzle in the north and west but most places dry, some cloud with a few breaks which could let temperatures down to 2—3, but most about 5—9 tonight and into the weekend. 0n

about 5—9 tonight and into the weekend. on saturday it will be mostly dry, isolated showers especially across scotland. plenty of cloud with sunny breaks, but it could feel more like spring with temperatures around 11—13. into sunday, very little changes, high pressure keeping things static. it has moved to the south and east of us allowing air to come in from the south and west, which is why it has been milder. we will see more cloud brakes on sunday, a lot of cloud towards the south—east corner and temperatures down a touch on saturday. going down a little more as we go into monday. 0verall, temperatures will stay above average. to give you a quick look at what to expect next week, high—pressure and charge to the south of us and the east, so the wind score in a clockwise direction,

the wind coming from the south, not a particularly cold direction. weather fronts trying to push and later in the week to the north and west so there could be outbreaks of rain in scotland and northern ireland. the forecast for the capital city is showing very little change. variable cloud with sunshine at times and temperatures milder at around 10—13. fabulous. the time is 6:50am. film directorjames cameron is behind three of the four biggest films of all time — the avatar series and titanic. today is 25 years since jack and rose's epic love story first appeared on the big screen and, to mark the anniversary, the blockbuster is being re—released in cinemas. james cameron has given his only uk broadcast interview to our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. the way of water connects all things.

before your birth. and after your death. james cameron, we're speaking to you in new zealand. you are there because of avatar. which film are you making at the moment and how far through it are you? we're midstream in movie three, so all of the performance capture work with the actors has been done, all the live action work with sets and actors and 3d cameras has been done, and we're in the early part of the post—production phase where i do all the virtual cameras, so that's where i am in the process right now on that. we cannot let you bring your war here. avatar the way of water is now the fourth biggest film of all time. how much of a relief was it to you, especially after the gap of 13 years? i don't think the gap was the issue. i think the amount of time and energy... so its five years of production, which is what where we sit today, right? we started in september of �*17

making the new films two and three together. and so after five years and i don't want to say how many hundreds of millions of dollars, it's an enormous relief that the investment of time and energy and artistic intensity has paid off. and we get to do parts three, four and five. i believe everything's designed right through to the whole end of the saga. i need you with me. and i need you to be strong. and congratulations on the four 0scar nominations, including best picture. how much do they still mean to you? i try to have it mean less than it does, but i'm not capable. i think we all get a little enraptured by it. there's something very enticing about the glamour of hollywood. is there a case that the oscars actually needs avatar the way the water more than avatar needs the oscars?

i now see movies like avatar as being the film that helps get the tune—in and the film that can be the goliath that must die so that david can win. so, you know, but i will remind the academy that in order for us to be the goliath that is slain by david, we have to be nominated. well, let's go from talking about the fourth biggest film of all time to the third biggest film of all time. listen to me, i've got you, i won't let go. how do you feel returning to titanic after 25 years? i think titanic, the film means a lot of different things to a lot of different people around the world. maybe a teenage memory, maybe a first date memory, maybe somebody that they're married to now and have six kids. who knows? open your eyes. i'm flying. when people are going out to the cinema these days,

they want a guarantee that it's going to be a satisfying experience of some kind, right? they don't want to gamble as much as they used to be willing to gamble. titanic fits squarely in that category. you're going to cry. i'll never let go, jack. you may think you won't, but you will. now, there has been so much talk over the years about jack and rose and who could have got on the door. could jack have survived? and you've actually been making a documentary. so i was really curious to see what that did to jack's situation. and it's pretty interesting. why does it matter? first of all, it doesn't matter at all. secondly, it's even a bad idea to question it. you don't question greek tragedies. did oedipus really need to rip his own eyes out? now let's get to the forensics, which i'm always fascinated by anything to do with science. so it's like everybody really wants to know the answer. let's get some hypothermia experts and let's restage the whole thing

and let's rig these young folks up with a bunch of sensors and see what really would have happened. because i am curious. i can say that we definitively resolve this and i have no intention of telling you what the answer is. i will say this — the results were very interesting and not entirely what i expected. you've had kate winslet in avatar. now you must stand with us. how about leonardo dicaprio in an avatar? i couldn't rule that out, but there are a number of new characters that get introduced along the way, so i couldn't i couldn't rule that out. i'll have to talk to him about that. i would never cast somebody to tick a box. you know, it would have to make sense to him and it would have to make sense to me. now, i can imagine because the avatar films have this big embedded environmental context that, because he's such an environmental activist, he might want to do something. james cameron, thank you very much for speaking to us. yeah, it was good talking to you.

thanks very much. he wouldn't tell. we wait to find out the result of his experiments. at some point the documentary will reveal it. i do think, do you really want to know? it's a movie. you can watch it in cinemas 25 years on. it is coming up to 7am when we will have the headlines. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. a murder inquiry has begun in south east london after a man was shot just before nine o'clock last night. he was found in erith, but despite attempts to save his life, he died

at the scene in hillside. the police are still trying to work out who he was. more donations flood in from the capital to help people affected by the earthquakes in turkey and syria. the city of london corporation has donated £50,000 to the cause. it's urging other city businesses to do the same to help with basics like shelter and medicine. another day, another strike. today its university staff from the university and college union. ambulance staff are also staging walk—outs for a second day in a dispute over pay. downing street says the continuing industrial action will be a concern to the public. i have committed that we will provide a life and limb emergency service to people in london, and londoners, and i'm confident on friday we will be able to do the same. but a life and limb emergency service is not the same as a full service. we will have just less than half the number of ambulances available compared to a normal day, and our response times will be longer.

but if you have a life and limb threatening emergency, please phone 999. a derelict set of railway arches has been restored as part of a £3 million investment. next to london bridge station, the renovation work has seen edwardian buildings brought back to life. the victorian frontage was amazing. and then when they reworked the bridge in 1900, they built the fabulous ceramic—clad facade that's behind me now. and it really grabs your attention in the edwardian baroque style. really special architecture for london at the turn of the century. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service all round. now the weather with kate kinsella. it is another cold start this morning, a widespread frost, as temperatures last night dropped back down below zero, but plenty of sunshine, the sunshine turning a little hazy

as we get through the afternoon, so you can see barely any cloud. a cold and crisp start to the day, but gradually the cloud will start to sink south. sunshine turns hazier through the afternoon, temperatures still reaching 10 celsius as a maximum. 0vernight we are going to hang on to the cloud, a few breaks potentially, underneath which the temperature will be a little cooler, but also we could see one or two mist and fog patches forming. minimum temperature widely not as cold as last night, staying above zero at 2 celsius. the weekend is largely dry. quite settled through the weekend, high pressure in charge, quite a bit of cloud, a few brighter spells, a little less cold but also the chance of some mist and fog patches. any tomorrow morning will lift, it is going to be largely cloudy though for saturday. temperatures in double figures. night—time temperatures above zero. that's it from me. more on our webiste and we've got lots of stories on our instagram and twitter channels. see you in half an hour

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. as the death toll from the earthquake in turkey and syria exceeds 20,000 — a warning that more lives could be lost unless aid gets through to survivors. an raf plane has left for turkey loaded with thermal blankets as freezing temperatures add to the misery of those left homeless. safe from harm — the baby rescued after being born in the rubble of herfamily home is making good progress. two weeks after she went missing, friends of nicola bulley will today renew their appeal for information. an exciting new dawn or a wolf in disguise. just when you thought european super league plans had been shown the red card, after huge protests, there are now re—vamped plans

to try to, make it work. it to try to, make it work. is —5 with a sharp frost in southern it is —5 with a sharp frost in southern parts. the night ahead will not be as cold with something milder working in. all the details on breakfast. it's friday, 10th of february. our main story. more than 20,000 people are now known to have been killed in monday's earthquakes in turkey and syria. but the united nations has warned that the full extent of the disaster is still unclear. humanitarian aid has yet to reach many areas, especially in syria, and survivors are having to shelter outside in freezing temperatures. 0ur correspondent howard johnson has this report. four days on and time is running out to find survivors of monday's double earthquake. but this british team working in turkey is still delivering results.

against the odds, a mother is reunited with her young daughter. an unforgettable hug matched by a priceless smile. sadly, these survival stories are becoming increasingly rare. in turkey, a family's desperate shout goes unanswered. the children are four and six years old. it has been for days. her nieces are trapped inside. "my god, my god, please return them to us," she says. they dig deep into the building. but there is no sign of the children. with thousands dispossessed and in freezing conditions, there is an acute need for aid. the head of the united nations says a catastrophe is still unfolding. survivors are left without shelter, food and water in freezing conditions. 0vernight, a royal air force flight packed with a field hospital and emergency supplies set

off for turkey. the uk's disasters emergency committee is appealing for donations, with the uk government matching the first £5 million raised by the public. howard johnson, bbc news. international aid agencies have been arriving in turkey to help with the rescue effort, but the situation in syria is more challenging. we can speak now to 0kke bouwman, from save the children, who's also in gazantiep this morning. thank you forjoining us. tell me about the work you are doing and what is needed and getting to those who need it. what is needed and getting to those who need it— who need it. good morning. as you can see, who need it. good morning. as you can see. this— who need it. good morning. as you can see. this is— who need it. good morning. as you can see, this is one _ who need it. good morning. as you can see, this is one of _ who need it. good morning. as you can see, this is one of many - can see, this is one of many examples of collapsed buildings and unfortunately people have been trapped. what is needed mostly, we have been talking to children in different places and also across the border in north—west syria, children

are frightened, panicked. every time there is an aftershock. they are out in the cold so what is needed most and shelter, a warm space for children to recover, food, and also things like heavy equipment, especially on the syrian side of the border where it is not available. the needs are very grave right now and we need to scale up this response as soon as possible. we have been able to get more pictures from turkey in the past days. but we are getting more reports now from syria, a country devastated by war over the last decade. and there are calls for syria not to be ignored. how much more quickly or how can aid get to syria? i how much more quickly or how can aid get to syria?— get to syria? i think you are right in sa in: get to syria? i think you are right in saying especially _ get to syria? i think you are right in saying especially the _ get to syria? i think you are right in saying especially the syrian - in saying especially the syrian side, we have not seen the full

scale of the effect emerge yet which is concerning. we have spoken to children in shelters there. we have heard that there is not enough for them to even stay warm, have access to food, so on the syrian side, we need to look at different possibilities to bring aid as soon as possible. local organisations are working there but we have to bear in mind that they themselves have been affected by this disaster. we urgently support also so they can work alongside international support. 50 work alongside international su--ort. work alongside international suuort, ., ., work alongside international suuort. ., ., support. so soon after a disaster like this, it _ support. so soon after a disaster like this, it almost _ support. so soon after a disaster like this, it almost seems - like this, it almost seems impossible to think of normal life but we have shown pictures of a baby who was rescued from the rubble. so many children have lost parents now. they need to get back to school, they need to be with family. how much effort is put into helping the

trauma these children have suffered and be coped with? that trauma these children have suffered and be coped with?— and be coped with? that is a key concern. the _ and be coped with? that is a key concern. the first _ and be coped with? that is a key concern. the first couple - and be coped with? that is a key concern. the first couple of - and be coped with? that is a key concern. the first couple of days| and be coped with? that is a key i concern. the first couple of days it has been about trying to rescue people and make sure they have a safe space and something to eat but now that is something we are trying with partners to coordinate, to help children who have lost families or maybe have been separated from their carers. and have a coordination system so they can be reunited. to set up spaces so children can recover. you mentioned learning, education. we need to find ways for children to access that as soon as possible because that is one way that will help them to return to 1's sense of normality sooner rather than later. so that is something, and also the dtc appeal, we are

happy to see. we are seeing volunteers underground —— dec appeal. we are seeing the effort replicated internationally in the uk and other countries. it is and other countries. it is heart-warming - and other countries. it is heart-warming and - and other countries. it is heart—warming and needed. thank you very much. for describing what you are seeing and all the efforts being made to help those in distress. trying to give you a sense from a number of places in turkey. and also in syria as to the situation. 0ur correspondent is in gaziantep and we are trying to get a sense of what is happening. i wonder if you could bring us up—to—date with the situation in gaziantep which i know is severely damaged. 0k,

situation in gaziantep which i know is severely damaged. ok, i will stay with this for moment. we are having problems with communications. i will check. can you hear us? just trying to catch up with our correspondent in gaziantep now. bring us up—to—date with the situation in gaziantep this morning. good morning, iam situation in gaziantep this morning. good morning, i am glad you can hear me now. 100 hours since the first of the two devastating earthquake struck. at this particular place in this city, you can see there is work under way but with every hour that has passed, the hope of finding people who have survived has evaporated into the bitterly cold air. a few moments ago, you can hear birdsong in the city, which was a

reflection of the pace of the operation, the fact that it has dropped quite a bit. if you look at people's faces, they have been flat out the last days and you can see exhaustion on their faces, but they say they will not give up because we hearin say they will not give up because we hear in other places, overnight they have talked to people in the rubble and in particular, somebody spotted and in particular, somebody spotted a hand that was moving. that sort of isolated case gives hope to rescuers here and elsewhere that what they are doing is not in vain. i said we could hear birdsong. you could also hear heavy machinery that has been brought up. the sad reality is the big machines waiting in the wings will come to the fore in the hours and days to come because there is a hugejob to do in and days to come because there is a huge job to do in terms of shifting the rubble. president erdogan of turkey said he wants to see homes rebuilt within a year. quite how they will be able to do that we do

not know. 0vernight we have heard 75,000 people have been injured by the earthquakes. in terms of tents, 1a0,000 have been put in place. 100,000 have been occupied. so that gives you an indication of the international effort. 15 countries now involved. in terms of people in this country and northern syria, that help, domestic or from abroad, it cannot come quickly enough. thahk it cannot come quickly enough. thank ou. at 7am the latest figures on the economy were released. they show the uk is not in recession. ben is on a building site in manchester and has the details. you have looked at the world of construction, an indicator on how the economy is faring. take us through the numbers. the the economy is faring. take us through the numbers.- the economy is faring. take us through the numbers. the uk has

avoided tipping — through the numbers. the uk has avoided tipping into _ through the numbers. the uk has avoided tipping into recession - through the numbers. the uk has avoided tipping into recession but only by... only avoided tipping into recession but only by... 0nlyjust. in the period between october and december the economy did not grow, not percent growth, meaning it was flat. the uk is not in recession. but it does not suggest the economy is in a healthy state. services were flat, things like retail and leisure, professional services such as banking. no growth there. in some parts there were also less activity in education, transport, storage. i am on a construction site and construction is an area that grew not by much but in the three—month period it grew by 0.3%, although production, manufacturing, fell by 0.2%. what does it mean for you? if the economy is not growing it generally means there is less money

around in the system. people have less to spend. businesses are not investing as much. they will be perhaps not hiring. it is of course a relief for now the uk was not in recession at the end of last year but economists warn we are not out of the woods. it is not a cause for huge celebration because forecasts from respected economists are the uk economy will get smaller over the coming year, that it will shrink. it means less money in the system and it makes it harder to get a job and pay rise. all the while, we know average prices are rising, things are getting more expensive, and energy bills and food costs remain high, all those those are expected to fall. in short, figures out today show the uk was not in recession but

nicola's family still heartbroken and concerned about where nicola is. yes. two weeks since nicola bulley family woke up to what was the last regular morning. she was getting the daughters aged six and nine ready for school and drop them at school a short distance from where we are. she took her dog for a walk along the river, a walk she did many times. at 9.10 was the last sighting of nikola bulley. a police investigation began and the search of the river wyre started and a steam, specialist divers used sonar equipment to comb the bottom of the river around the area where police believe nicola fell into the water. they still believe this is a missing person inquiry and there is no crime involved. their push is to try to

find any information that helps them find any information that helps them find nicola. they have moved that search downriver towards where the river wyre meets the irish sea. that is towards morecambe babe but there is towards morecambe babe but there is a lot of water to search with a ten mile stretch of river. that search will continue. today, nicola's friends will gather here close to where she was last seen with posters, hoping tojog close to where she was last seen with posters, hoping to jog the memory of someone who may have information that have not yet shared about nicola bulley on this day, two weeks since she was last seen. thahk weeks since she was last seen. thank ou. labour has comfortably held the seat of west lancashire, in a by—election. ashley dalton secured a majority of more than 8,000 over the conservatives. the vote was triggered when labour veteran rosie cooper, who represented the seat for 17 years, resigned. thousands of ambulance staff across five services in england will strike again today in the ongoing row over pay and conditions.

at windsor to celebrate king charles' coronation in may. the tickets will be free, but you'll have to enter a ballot first — which hasjust opened. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has the details. less than a year after pop and rock royalty came together to celebrate the late queen's platinum jubilee, a coronation concert will be staged to celebrate the ceremonial beginning of her son's reign. windsor castle will provide a spectacular backdrop, with some of the world's biggest entertainers, according to the bbc, which will stage and broadcast the event. i tell you now, this is going to be something like we have never ever experienced. it will be a world—class orchestra. we have the best of the british and commonwealth acts from all over, between singing, dancing, performing, the arts. the orchestra will be playing along with every single performance that happens. it really, really is going to be incredible. there are going to be 10,000 members of the public there, as well. you cannot imagine the vibe that is going to be about.

there are 5000 pairs of tickets, all free, which will be allocated via a national ballot. members of the public can apply up until the 28th of february. tickets will be allocated to ensure a fair geographical spread across the uk, so not on a first come, first served basis. the remaining tickets will also be made available to various charities, including those working with young people and the military. it is now less than three months until king charles is crowned at westminster abbey. the long weekend is taking shape, but, between now and then, there will be plenty more detail to come. sarah campbell, bbc news. we will bring you something of beauty. nature. this is the sky over london. it looks to be delivering everything that matt taylor said it would deliver over the next days. we have had amazing sunrises and

sunsets. good morning. i do not know if it isjust sunsets. good morning. i do not know if it is just when it is cold and they look more spectacular. we have had a clear air which allows the colours to pop a little bit more. good morning. 0ur weather watchers are out in force. where you have sunshine it is particularly cold. another sharp frost in southern areas with temperatures down to —6 at the moment. but 17 degrees milder for sum in north—west scotland and it is mild air winning its way out and with it, cloud. there are some splashes of rain. fairly light. heavy rain in the western isles which will push into the highlands. cloud elsewhere is high, so hazy sunshine to the south and east. as the cloud thickens in the rest of the cloud thickens in the rest of the country, you could see rain in the country, you could see rain in the afternoon. eastern areas, breaks

in the cloud, especially in scotland, helped by the breeze, up to a0 mph for some. aberdeenshire, 13 celsius this afternoon. above where we should be at this stage in february. even in the south, nine is possible. still some rain at times in the west. many will be derived. cloud around. not as cold tonight with temperatures staying clear of frost. and this weekend, a mild theme but cloud. most staying dry. drug—free prison wings that aim to treat addiction and cut crime rates, are being expanded in england and wales. are being expanded inmates on the specialised units receive privileges in return for doing regular drug tests and attending courses on substance abuse. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been to hmp pentonville in london to see how it works in practice.

every day i needed cannabis. when i woke up, i'm smoking weed, before i'm going to bed, i'm smoking weed. i became lazy, paranoid. it was destroying relationships. it was leading me on to other drugs. when david's involvement with cannabis landed him in prison, he found he was still surrounded by drugs. probably everything you're looking at — cannabis, spice, maybe cocaine — drugs inevitably comes into the into the prison system. and then with that, someone told me that, look, j wing, it's a drug—free wing. there's no drugs. you're out of your cell most of your day. you've got kitchen appliances to cook. you might want to try and get onto that wing if you want to stay out of trouble, keep your head down and just get on with your sentence. j wing at london's pentonville prison is a drug—free island in a notoriously tough jail. it's part of a massive rollout of similar units across england and wales. the deal onj wing is simple —

stay off drugs and you get a whole load of privileges. and the evidence from the prisoners who've been through this wing so far is that it has worked. there have been very few failures. like all the other inmates here, david has to do regular and rigorous drug testing. those who don't pass are kicked off the wing. we're taking it from a different angle. rather than punishing drug use, we are rewarding staying away from drugs. so they get regularly drug tested over here and, in return, they have more time out of cell. they get to cook on the wing and they can sit down together and eat food. this wing is great. i mean, being a first—time prisoner myself, being in other wings was mentally really hard for me. being locked up 23 hours a day, my anxiety level went through the roof. so coming here didn't make me feel like a prisoner in some sort. it made me feel like i'm here to rehabilitate.

pentonville was infamous a few years ago for drugs being smuggled over the walls by rope and by drone. the prison has built new defences since then, but inspectors last year said that illicit drugs use were still high and a major threat. that's why tackling the problem from the other end was important. the only thing i could hope for is that like everyjail has a type of wing like this. so once we leave this wing, we can continue getting the help in otherjails, other wings would be much better for us, but i am worried that once i leave here it's just back to how it normally is. there are now a5 similar units in england and wales with plans to expand that to 100. while drugs are still getting in to jails, it's the best way of keeping motivated inmates away from them. daniel sandford, bbc news, pentonville prison. this week on breakfast,

we've been following the progress of 0ti mabuse, rylan clarke and emma willis on their trek across the cairngorm mountains, to raise money for comic relief. this morning they'll set off on their final day of the challenge. but let's take a look now at how the last 2a hours have gone for the team. let's go, guys. two. come on, rylan. yay. my hands are freezing, my feet are freezing. l it's rained, it snowed. the weather is just ridiculous. last night was actually a lot better than this morning. . i can't warm up today. and, now, i'm absolutely frozen. how's it going?

it has just started i to get quite tough. ijust need to keep breathing. the only thing keeping me walking in this direction rather than that direction is the fact that we know where their money is going to go. i mean, the nation might be quite happy to hear it's quite difficult for me to talk at the minute. hi, naga, hi, charlie. we just wanted to send you a little message to say thank _ you so much for support. by the time you get this, . we are going to be off grid. gone. with nowhere to contact anyone. and we don't even know where that is. if you can donate, please do it

time now for the news where you are. hello, good morning. this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. a murder inquiry�*s begun in south east london after a man was shot just before nine o'clock last night. he was found in erith but despite attempts to save his life he died at the scene in hillside. no—one's been arrested. the police are still trying to work out who he was so they can tell his family. a group of mps are demanding a full investigation the response of staff at a school near to heathrow airport. it's after a girls was attacked in what police believe was a racially aggravated assault at thomas knyvett college in ashford. the school says it's taking what it say was an "isolated" incident

on monday afternoon "extremely seriously" and there've been several arrests. another day, another strike. today it's university staff from the university and college union. ambulance workers are also staging walkouts for a second day in a dispute over pay. downing street says the continuing industrial action will be a concern to the public following warnings of a reduced emergency service. we will have just less than half the number of ambulances available compared to a normal day and our response times will be longer, but if you have a life and limb threatening emergency, please phone 999. a derelict set of railway arches has been restored as part of a £3 million investment. next to london bridge station, the renovation work has seen edwardian buildings brought back to life. the victorian frontage was amazing. and then when they reworked the bridge in 1900, they built the fabulous ceramic—clad facade that's behind me now. and it really grabs your attention in the edwardian baroque style. really special architecture for

london at the turn of the century. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service all round. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. it is another cold start this morning, a widespread frost, as temperatures last night dropped back down below zero, but plenty of sunshine, the sunshine turning a little hazy as we get through the afternoon, so you can see barely any cloud. a cold and crisp start to the day, but gradually the cloud will start to sink south. sunshine turns hazier through the afternoon, temperatures still reaching 10 celsius as a maximum. 0vernight we are going to hang on to the cloud, a few breaks potentially, underneath which the temperature will be a little cooler, but also we could see one or two mist and fog patches forming. minimum temperature widely not as cold as last night, staying above zero at 2 celsius. the weekend is largely dry. quite settled through the weekend, high pressure in charge,

quite a bit of cloud, a few brighter spells, a little less cold but also the chance of some mist and fog patches. any tomorrow morning will lift, it is going to be largely cloudy though for saturday. temperatures in double figures. night—time temperatures above zero. that's it from me. more on our website and we've got lots of stories on our instagram and twitter channels. see you in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. there's growing concern this morning for the survivors of the earthquakes in turkey and syria. 20,000 people are now believed to have died but the head of the united nations has warned that a catastrophe is still "unfolding before our eyes" as survivors are left without shelter, food and water, in freezing conditions. tens of thousands of people have made makeshift shelters in places like supermarket car parks. there's particular concern

for people in syria, where a long—running civil war has devastated the country, making it a challenge to get aid and supplies to the area. 0ne story of tragedy and survival in the earthquake zone is that of a baby girl — she was born under the rubble in syria and is the only member of her family to survive. bbc arabic�*s special correspondent nawal al maghafi has more on her story. the signs of a life only a few days old. but already the wounds on aya's body tell the story of her harsh entry into this world. she arrived on monday in such a bad state, she had knocks and bruises. she was cold and barely breathing. now in the safety of a hospital in afrin in syria's northwest, but only with staff by her side. she was born under the rubble

of syria's earthquake, found in her mother's arms. she is now having to survive life alone. her plight has moved people all over the world. 0n social media, thousands of people asking for details to adopt her. i'd like to adopt her and give her a decent life, says one person. i'm ready to take care of and adopt this child if legal procedures allow. from an arab tv anchor. but for now, dr attia, the hospital's manager, is taking care of her. his wife breast—feeding aja alongside their own. i won't allow anyone to adopt her. she has some distant family, and until they come, i will treat her like one of my own. doctors say if she had stayed just one more hour under the rubble, she would have died. for nearly three days now, the search has been relentless, dangerous and exhausting.

but every person saved renews hope that there are more people still alive to be found. yesterday, 36 hours into the search, another story of survival. a family of six was miraculously pulled from their fallen building in idlib. mustafa tells us how he had little hope they would be found, but his six—year—old daughter mariam kept praying to keep them calm. they took us out of the rubble just like that. glory to allah. it was an absolute miracle. and now that they've survived, she dares to dream. i want to be a doctor when i'm older, she says. rare stories of hope at a very dark time. nawal al maghafi, bbc news. we'rejoined now by dr ubeyd sakin from the aid organisation human appeal uk, which is working on the ground in turkey. theirfundraising manager, fahad

know if you can call it a revival or repackaging? if you thought the idea of a european super league for the top clubs in football was a horrible baddie that had been banished forever, well, think again. two years ago huge protests by fans forced the turnaround by 12 clubs, including six english ones who had supported joining a breakaway elite league. now, fresh plans have been put forward by three of the clubs in spain and italy who say it's ok, it will be different this time. the group, called a22, say it's time for change in the game, and that the foundations of football are collapsing. they want a super league based on merit, and competition, with no permanent members and based on sporting performance, and it could include up to 80 clubs, from across the continent. juventus, barcelona and real madrid argue the financial benefits would trickle down to all. but the president of the spanish league has likened it to the wolf in red riding hood, and it will take some turnaround to win over fans here.

what we have seen today is a pretty desperate rehashing of the original concept by the three clubs effectively who remain in what was the european super league, who seem to be in denial of the fact that their project is dead. what was far too important in this country under course europe to... the women's league cup final has become an annual tradition for chelsea, who booked their place again after thrashing west ham 7—0. sam kerr was the star of the show — scoring four, including a first half hat trick, to seal a place in the final for the ath year running. they will battle arsenal for the trophy at crystal palace's ground early next month. rangers narrowed the gap at the top of the scottish women's

premier league to a points, thanks to a a—0 victory overs hibs. kirsty elizabeth howart—thomson scored the pick of the bunch as she netted rangers second and third goals. now, a sad day forfans of worcester warriors rugby union team. that name is now part of history after plans to start afresh in the championship next season were scrapped, and so instead they are planning to rebrand as sixways rugby. warriors had been given until valentine's day to meet the sport's criteria to play in the second division. but the people leading a takeover pulled out of talks adding that "we're starting afresh. we believe it's time for a new start." so sixways, named after the site where the ground is, could start life down the ath tier. with the hope of rising again. now wrexham football club is having a different shaped ball for breakfast this morning. it's the rugby match ball for the six nations games between scotland and wales in edinburgh tomorrow. if you were watching yesterday

you'll know what i am talking about. it's the 555 mile cycle challenge in 55 hours raising money for doddie aid and motor neurone disease. led by former teamates, of former scotland captain doddie weir, who passed away in november, a team of riders have been peddling through the night, from cardiff, across wales, before a quick rest near welshpool. they set off again in their doddie weir tartan in the early hours, and will have brekkie in wrexham before continuing. they have to be in edinburgh by a.a5 tomorrow afternoon, when the match known as the doddie weir cup will kick off. we will catch up with them and see where they are tomorrow... normally it has cristiano ronaldo being asked for his autograph but to mark reaching 500 league goals across his career he got the referee to sign his match ball. we also wanted a picture with the official. the referee didn't seem too excited.

now, to one of the big sporting events of the year later this weekend. rihanna fans around the world are eagerly anticipating her performance at the super bowl half—time show this weekend — one of the biggest and most prestigious gigs in music. the philadelphia eagles will take on the kansas city chiefs on sunday. nesta mcgregor reports. after seven years away, the long—awaited return. hello. hey, everyone, how are you? rihanna, the superstar singer, billionaire businesswoman and new mother, determined to show she has not lost a step. it feels like it could only have been now. i was like, are you sure? i am three months postpartum, should i make a major decision like this right now? but when you become a mother there is something thatjust happens where you feel like you could take on the world and do anything.

the super bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. that stage is state farm stadium. this weekend, more than 70,000 people will be inside the venue, 120 million more watching on television. the world is descending on phoenix, arizona. this is off the scale. i have never seen anything like this. if you look at the journalists, some do not even have seats and as for the cameramen they are literally on top of one another. everyone wants to be here. # we shine together... it is no surprise that she is a nine time grammy award winner with more than a dozen number one singles, but she will have to pack her 17—year career into a 13 minute show and be on and off the field before the players finish their half—time cuppa. it is a lot of preparation and a lot of moving parts. 300—a00 people taking the stage down and building it back up and getting it out in eight minutes. it is incredible, almost impossible.

forfans, the return of ri—ri brings fresh hope that new music may follow and anticipation for that and what is in store come sunday is at peak level. i think this is one of the best concerts in the world. in an event, this one has a lot of expectations. everyone on twitter, tiktok, instagram is wondering what she will sing, how will she perform, how many songs? what will she do? it sweeps the nation for months before it even comes. can you give us a bit of your favourite song? she sings. that one is one of my favourites. following in the footsteps of michaeljackson, u2 and diana ross, come monday morning rihanna's half—time performance may generate more headlines than the game—winning touchdown. one thing is for sure, though. she is back in the spotlight and loving it. nesta mcgregor, bbc news

in phoenix, arizona. following in the footsteps of jennifer lopez, whitney houston. 0nly jennifer lopez, whitney houston. only 13 minutes i have time but as important as the sport for many fans. everyone was focuses on the singers when it comes to a band but actually it is the drummers that keep everything going. we have an old friend coming back to the sofa. he won't appreciate the old. 0wain on his new radio show he gets someone to pick a song with a really good drumbeat. are you going to make a suggestion?

omd, that 0md, that main theme. he sings tune. what i like is as the beat changes you do special face change as well. matt is dreading how we are going to bring him into this conversation. quite aptly named she bangs the drum, the stone roses. how are you going to go into the way from that? i cannot, my brain went black. ——

let's take a look at some of his work. # i don't know what to do with myself. # baby, if a new love ever turns you down. # what's it all about, alfie? # is itjust for the moment we live? # just like me, they long to be close to you. # what's new, pussycat? # whoa, whoa! # for ever, for ever, you'll stay in my heart # and i will love you. # for ever, for ever, we never will part #. just the most extraordinary work.

everyone will have heard a song he was involved in. in the next hour, we'll be speaking to radio presenter bob harris about burt's career and we'll hear the tributes being paid to him from some of music's greatest stars. we will also talk to dave rowntree the drummer from we will also talk to dave rowntree the drummerfrom blur, so we have a real musical theme today. stay with us, headlines coming up. time now for the news where you are.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines. as the death toll from the earthquake in turkey and syria exceeds 20,000, warning that more lives could be lost unless aid gets through to survivors. an raf plane has left for turkey loaded with thermal blankets, as freezing temperatures add to the misery of those left homeless. safe from harm — the baby rescued after being born in the rubble of herfamily home is making good progress. two weeks after she went missing, friends of nicola bulley will today renew their appeal for information. the uk economy narrowly avoided falling into recession at the end of last year but figures this morning show it did not grow in the last

three months of 2022. i am at a construction site in manchester finding out this sector is doing and explaining the economic numbers. football's euro vision is back. just when you thought controversial super league plans had been shown the red card, after huge protests, there are now revamped proposals to try to make it work. whilst we have seen temperatures go to —6 in the south of the uk, the days ahead will not be as cold. it is turning milder. the forecast here on breakfast. it's friday, 10th of february. our main story. more than 20,000 people are now known to have been killed in monday's earthquakes in turkey and syria. but the united nations has warned that the full extent of the disaster is still unclear. humanitarian aid has yet to reach many areas, especially in syria, and survivors are having to shelter outside in freezing temperatures. our correspondent howard

johnson has this report. four days on and time is running out to find survivors of monday's double earthquake. but this british team working in turkey is still delivering results. against the odds, a mother is reunited with her young daughter. an unforgettable hug matched by a priceless smile. elsewhere, in north—west syria, baby aya recovers. the scars on her body tell the story of her harsh entry into the world. she was born under the rubble of the earthquake, found in her mother's arms. she is now having to survive alone. her mother, herfather and all four of her siblings have perished. translation: she arrived on monday in such a bad state. _ she had knocks and bruises. she was cold and barely breathing. her plight has moved people all over

the world but, for now, the hospital manager is taking care of her, his wife breast—feeding aya alongside her own daughter. translation: i will not allow anyone to adopt her. - she has some distant family and, until they come, i will treat her like one of my own. sadly, these survival stories are becoming increasingly rare. in turkey, a family's desperate shout goes unanswered. the children are four and six years old. "it has been four days," says this woman. her nieces are trapped inside. "my god, my god, please return them to us," she says. they dig deep into the building. but there is no sign of the children. with thousands dispossessed and in freezing conditions, there is an acute need for aid. overnight, a royal air force flight packed with a field hospital and emergency supplies set off for turkey. the uk's disasters emergency

committee is appealing for donations, with the uk government matching the first £5 million raised by the public. howard johnson, bbc news. our europe correspondent tom bateman is in gaziantep. he told us rescue workers there, aren't giving up hope. it is 100 hours since the first of the two earthquake struck and at this particular place in this city, you can see there is work under way but with every hour that passes, the hope of finding people who survived has been evaporating into the bitterly cold air. just a few moments ago, you could hear birdsong in the city, a reflection of the pace of the operation, the fact it has dropped quite a bit. if you look at people's faces, they have been flat out the past four days. you can

see exhaustion etched into their faces. they say they will not give up. we hear in other places, overnight they have talked to people in the rubble and in particular, someone spotted a hand that was moving. so that sort of isolated case gives hope to rescuers here and elsewhere that what they are doing is not in vain. i said we could hear birdsong. you can also hear heavy machinery. a sad reality is that some of the diggers and other big machines that have been waiting in the wings will come to the fore in the wings will come to the fore in the hours and days to come because there is a hugejob in terms of shifting the rubble. remember president erdogan of turkey wants to see these homes rebuilt within a year. how they will be able to do that, we do not know. overnight, we heard 75,000 people have been injured by the earthquakes. in terms of tents, 140,000 have been put in

place. 100,000 of them are occupied. so that gives you an indication of the international effort. 15 countries now involved but in terms of people across this country and in northern syria, that help, whether domestic or from abroad, it cannot come quickly enough. labour has comfortably held the seat of west lancashire, in a by—election. ashley dalton secured a majority of more than 8,000 over the conservatives. the vote was triggered when labour veteran rosie cooper, who represented the seat for 17 years, resigned. thousands of ambulance staff across five services in england will strike again today in the ongoing row over pay and conditions. the industrial action will involve all ambulance employees, including call centre and control room staff, but paramedics will still attend life—threatening emergencies. staff at 150 universities across the uk are also taking industrial action today.

it's being billed as the hottest ticket in town — 10,000 people are being given the chance to go to the concert at windsor castle to celebrate king charles' coronation in may. the tickets will be free, but you'll have to enter a ballot first, which opened this morning. royal correspondent sarah campbell has the details. less than a year after pop and rock royalty came together to celebrate the late queen's platinum jubilee, a coronation concert will be staged to celebrate the ceremonial beginning of her son's reign. windsor castle will provide a spectacular backdrop, with some of the world's biggest entertainers, according to the bbc, which will stage and broadcast the event. i tell you now, this is going to be something like we have never ever experienced. it will be a world—class orchestra. we have the best of the british and commonwealth acts from all over, between singing, dancing, performing, the arts. the orchestra will be playing along with every single performance that happens.

it really, really is going to be incredible. there are going to be10,000 members of the public there, as well. you cannot imagine the vibe that is going to be about. there are 5,000 pairs of tickets, all free, which will be allocated via a national ballot. members of the public can apply up until the 28th of february. tickets will be allocated to ensure a fair geographical spread across the uk, so not on a first come, first served basis. the remaining tickets will also be made available to various charities, including those working with young people and the military. it is now less than three months until king charles is crowned at westminster abbey. the long weekend is taking shape, but, between now and then, there will be plenty more detail to come. sarah campbell, bbc news. the launch of the most powerful rocket system in history is a step closer, after space x says it carried out a successful test on its starship craft.

a live stream appeared to show the engines firing with huge clouds of smoke from the launch site. the company's billionaire owner, elon musk, tweeted that 31 of the 33 engines fired for about ten seconds, which is enough to reach orbit. we will be bringing you the latest coverage on the earthquake that hit turkey and syria and the aid packages. turkey and syria and the aid packages-— turkey and syria and the aid hackaes. . . , . , packages. that are being frantically brou . ht to packages. that are being frantically brought to life _ packages. that are being frantically brought to life and _ packages. that are being frantically brought to life and transformed - packages. that are being frantically | brought to life and transformed over there. one of the biggest issues in syria and turkey are freezing temperatures people are coping with. we are reporting thermal blankets are being taken. matt taylor is looking at the weather in the uk but it is worth nodding towards the temperatures those struggling from the earthquakes are living with. especially without a home, having to

brave temperatures like this. the forecast the next seven days by night in southern turkey with temperatures below freezing. and later next week it could get colder. there is positivity in that it should stay dry in southern turkey throughout the next week but for those in syria, the chance of further showers, particularly saturday and wednesday. very difficult weather conditions to deal with. we have seen similar temperatures here over the past 24—hour is, down 2-6 here over the past 24—hour is, down 2—6 through the night. but things are turning milder to the north and west. 10 degrees in parts of the highlands and islands. the mild air will push tojust highlands and islands. the mild air will push to just about all through the day. with it we will see rain and drizzle, mainly in western coasts and hills. heavy showers in north—west england at the moment. more persistent rain through orkney and the north of scotland and western isles, and shetland through

the mid morning. that will decay a bit as it moves south. cloud increases. some sunny spells in the south and east. brighton breaks to the east of scotland. windy in scotland, over 40 mph. the east of scotland. windy in scotland, over40 mph. but lighter in the south. the cooler conditions here, but even 9 degrees above average but 13 possible in the north—east of scotland this afternoon. tonight, the breeze eases. a lot of cloud around. not as cold as last night in the south. temperatures clear of frost. 5—9. the weekend, a touch of frost in the morning stop mild by day. some glimpses of sunshine. in the last hour, the latest figures on the economy have been released. they show the uk has narrowly avoided a recession. ben's on a building site in manchesterfor us now with the details. it is an appropriate place to be

because this is all about what has happened and will happen in the economy and where better than to get a sense of that on a building site. take us through the details. this is what economic activity looks like, building things, making things, selling and spending. that is what gdp is. a measure of how much economic activity is going on in the country. the figures we got this morning show it was stagnant in the last three months of last year compared with the previous three months. what does that tell? it tells that perhaps people are not spending more, businesses were not investing and hiring more. it makes it harder to getjobs and pay rises. it means the government is not getting any more in taxes. on the positive side, it means the economy did not shrink, which can cause

problems. that would mean businesses tend to cutjobs and there is less money spent and less money in taxes. a flat economy is not ideal, one that does not grow is not ideal but better than an economy that is shrinking. there are warnings though from respected economists about the uk economy likely to shrink this year but let's hear whatjeremy hunt had to say about the figures this morning. the fact that we have avoided recession — in fact we are the fastest—growing major country last year — shows there is underlying resilience in the uk economy. but we are not out of the woods. inflation is still much too high. that is causing pain forfamilies up and down the country, which is why we need to stick to our plan to halve inflation. if we do that and play to our strengths in science and technology, we really can be one of the most prosperous countries in europe. we can look in more detail at how

construction has done. i am joined by zoe davidson. we are seeing activity here in manchester. normally, if the economy is not growing, you do not tend to see much construction. this is an interesting anomaly? we construction. this is an interesting anomal ? ~ ~ ., ., construction. this is an interesting anomal 7~ ~ ., ., , anomaly? we know that the uk faces economic headwinds _ anomaly? we know that the uk faces economic headwinds and _ anomaly? we know that the uk faces economic headwinds and we - anomaly? we know that the uk faces economic headwinds and we have - anomaly? we know that the uk faces i economic headwinds and we have seen it in data but we also know from a regional survey that regional surveys like manchester —— regional cities like manchester and salford are showing resilience to the pressure. we are seeing at the moment 12,000 residential units in construction in manchester which started last year. we will see them continue to deliver in the next 12 months to keep delivery up during 2024-5. that months to keep delivery up during 2024—5. that long programme of works keeps the market going. 2024-5. that long programme of works keeps the market going.— keeps the market going. construction is not looking —

at 9.20, police have now established her phone was left on a riverside bench. 13 minutes later, her phone was found, along with her dog's harness. but nicola had disappeared. and that is all we know for sure. and the police think that she fell down into the river and drowned. but it is a theory. there is no actual evidence for it. nevertheless, a specialist search team volunteered to help and, using sonar equipment, combed the bottom of the river in the village, but nothing was found in the stretch of river they were working in. if nicola was in that river, i would have found her, i can guarantee you that. we would have found her and she is not there in that section of the river up there. for her partner, it has been two weeks of hell. right now, it is as though she has vanished into thin air. like, yeah, just insane. police have consistently called this

a missing persons inquiry. there is no evidence of a crime. our main working hypothesis, therefore, is that nicola has sadly fallen into the river, that there is no third party or criminal involvement and that this is not suspicious, but a tragic case of a missing person. but that has not stopped some people thinking otherwise. social networks are awash with conspiracy theories. there have even been wannabe detectives coming to buildings like this, breaking into them and starting to search through them. police say they have thoroughly searched everywhere in a one—mile radius and will take action against anyone found making offensive comments online. they have also issued what are called dispersal orders against anyone committing anti—social behaviour. despite the police's thorough search, there is one blind spot. this is the only path out of this whole area that is not covered by a cctv camera. so if she came out of this way,

where did she go at this point? if you turn around and look here, it is a busy road. hundreds of cars were going past here at nine o'clock on a friday morning. and, since then, the police have tracked 700 vehicles going past at the time nicola went missing. with there being no sign of nicola at st michael's on wyre, the search has been widened downstream. but instead of a small meandering river, the wyre estuary, it is huge. but instead of a small meandering river, the wyre estuary, well, it is huge. from here, the river becomes the sea. the police are now tasked with searching the inlets and marshland. two weeks after nicola bulley went missing, the mystery surrounding her disappearance continues. nick garnett, bbc news, lancashire. our reporter mairead smith is in st michael's on wyre. there is so much speculation and guesswork, but at the heart of this

is a family desperate to know where nicola is. exactly. these past two weeks have been tortuous for the family here, desperate to find any information that helps them discover what happened to nicola bulley, the mother and partner who has not been seen since she was walking her dog two weeks ago today. the search is now focused downriver towards where the river wyre meets the irish sea. towards morecambe bay and that stretch. today the focus is on her friends, members of the community who have come together to try to jog the memory of anybody who crossed the memory of anybody who crossed the bridge close to where nicola bulley went for a walk on the 27th of january. i bulley went for a walk on the 27th ofjanuary. i am joined bulley went for a walk on the 27th ofjanuary. iamjoined by bulley went for a walk on the 27th ofjanuary. i am joined by one of nicola's friends. this is heartache for you and the community over the past two weeks but you are staying strong and hoping today you will get

plus, iona bain meets the sisters who don't know where to turn. eight months after their brother died, they're still waiting for scottish widows to pay out on his personal pension. they tell you something different every day, - one time it was they're waiting for a manager to authorise it, i one minute you're talking to a normal person in a call centre, then you get told you should be speaking to the bereavement team. you just feel as though you're being fobbed off. we're putting them on the straight and narrow, with £100,000 paid out to the people in our film since we recorded it. our biggest consumer win yet! also today, dr amos is paying attention to ourjoints. he's letting us know why clicking and popping sounds in your knees might mean you're at risk of getting arthritis, and how keeping moving can help. plus chefjohn gregory—smith is cooking up a friday night fakeaway with posh kebabs that are only £2 per head. and they've got chips in them, as well! she's always chipper. katie mcglynn is quickstepping us into the weekend in a strictly fitness friday fiesta.

see you at 9:15. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. a murder inquiry�*s begun in south east london after a man was shot just before 9 o'clock last night. he was found in erith but despite attempts to save his life he died at the scene in hillside. no—one's been arrested. the police are still trying to work out who he was so they can tell his family. a group of mps are demanding a full investigation into staff at a school near to heathrow airport. it's after a girl was attacked in what police believe was a racially aggravated assault at thomas knyvett college in ashford. the school says it's taking what it say was an "isolated" incident "extremely seriously" and there've

been several arrests. another day, another strike. today it's university staff from the university and college union. ambulance workers are also staging walkouts for a second day in a dispute over pay. downing street says the continuing industrial action will be a concern to the public following warnings of a reduced emergency service. we will have just less than half the number of ambulances available compared to a normal day and our response times will be longer, but if you have a life and limb threatening emergency, please phone 999. a derelict set of railway arches has been restored as part of a £3 million investment. next to london bridge station, the renovation work has seen edwardian buildings brought back to life. the victorian frontage was amazing. and then when they reworked the bridge in 1900, they built the fabulous ceramic—clad facade

that's behind me now. and it really grabs your attention in the edwardian baroque style. really special architecture for london at the turn of the century. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a part suspension on the northern line between battersea power station and kennington. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. it is another cold start this morning, a widespread frost, as temperatures last night dropped back down below zero, but plenty of sunshine, the sunshine turning a little hazy as we get through the afternoon, so you can see barely any cloud. a cold and crisp start to the day, but gradually the cloud will start to sink south. sunshine turns hazier through the afternoon, temperatures still reaching 10 celsius as a maximum. overnight we are going to hang on to the cloud, a few breaks potentially, underneath which the temperature will be a little cooler, but also we could see one or two mist and fog patches forming. minimum temperature widely not

as cold as last night, staying above zero at 2 celsius. the weekend is largely dry. quite settled through the weekend, high pressure in charge, quite a bit of cloud, a few brighter spells, a little less cold but also the chance of some mist and fog patches. any tomorrow morning will lift, it is going to be largely cloudy though for saturday. temperatures in double figures. night—time temperatures above zero. that's it from me. more on our webiste and follow us on our instagram and twitter channels too. see you in half an hour. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. there's growing concern this morning for the survivors of the earthquakes in turkey and syria. more than 20,000 people are now believed to have died but the head of the united nations has warned

that a catastrophe is still "unfolding before our eyes" as survivors are left without shelter, food and water in freezing conditions. tens of thousands of people have made makeshift shelters in places like supermarket car parks. there's particular concern for people in syria, where a long—running civil war has devastated the country, making it a challenge to get aid and supplies to the area. this is the scene from gaziantep this morning. this is near the epicentre of the earthquakes which struck on monday morning and one a few hours later, and many aftershocks. we showed you these pictures, these are live, rescuers painstakingly searching through the collapsed building. as we have said with our correspondence, it is only when there is no hope at all of the finding survivors that huge

machinery comes in to start clearing away the rubble. at the moment rescuers on this particular site in gaziantep. as the rescue efforts are dwindling, the hope of finding people becomes less and less, the focus is now on how to help those people who were living in those buildings that you saw collapsed, with so many people now homeless. here in the uk, people are doing all they can to help those affected. one turkish haulage firm in north london has been collecting donations to send to the worst affected areas. fiona lamden is there for us this morning. it's worth saying, i know you are surrounded by boxes of donations, it is worth looking at what is useful, particularly what is needed right now and how quickly it is able to get over there. this warehouse is

absolutely full of clothes, sleeping bags, heaters, tents, all the things, and they have already sent one lorry and another one is setting off today. they have said please no more clothes, they have enough, they don't need any more donations, this place has been turning away donations, what they need now is money, heaters and electrical equipment. that's what they are asking for here. but it is notjust here in london they have been collecting stuff, up and down the country people have been donating. i have been to a mosque in bristol which has turned into a donation hub. sorting, packing and labeling tonnes of clothes and shoes. everyone here is linked to the earthquake. one of my friends, her entire house came down like a stack of paper cards and her and herfamily were in the house as it happened. so it was quite stressful trying to get into communication with her and her family. her brother and sister were caught up. sadiye's been desperate to talk to them.

no—one answered the phones and i was really worried. and then at the end, they answered phone calls. they said they're fine, theyjust lost their homes, and, you know, and they were on the street, basically. and even though derya and her husband now live in bristol, theirfamily are all still in turkey. the cousin of my husband died. she was in the flat. she's devastated and she's really sad. and it's hard for the family of my husband. currently, yourfamily are sleeping in either their car or a health centre. they were in the car at first and now they are in the health centres. i lost one friend and my former colleague went missing. they sent a lorry yesterday and a second one is setting off tomorrow.

well, here in bristol, they have been overwhelmed with donations. now they're asking for no more clothes, just money. and the devastation has affected turkish communities across the uk. from our widerfamily, we at least lost four to six families and at least another four to five families are still under rubble. and some of them lost contact altogether. nobody knows if they are under rubble or have they managed to to get out. everything has been destroyed in the city. my brother's there. my brother's wife has families under rubble. still no any contact. they had hope to find anything. and i've just been speaking with my dad today, but my dad has been screaming, crying. all he says, we live in the dark,

cold, but i don't know how long we can make it. as the death toll continues to rise, donations are beginning to filter into turkey, but getting them to where they're most needed is now the next challenge. they sent to the first lorry yesterday and they are waiting, literally any moment now, the next one is going to turn up. they are sorting things into nappies, tents, they are going to load systematically into the lorry when it arrives. let's come over here, if we can have a quick word, i know you are very busy. yesterday you had 150 people here. are very busy. yesterday you had 150 people here-— people here. that's right, they were here to help — people here. that's right, they were here to help us. _ people here. that's right, they were here to help us, thanks _ people here. that's right, they were here to help us, thanks to _ people here. that's right, they were here to help us, thanks to all- people here. that's right, they were here to help us, thanks to all of- here to help us, thanks to all of you. we are doing donations to turkey. we started this on tuesday, we were so busy. we are so sad what is happening in turkey. i cannot

will get to istanbul in a week and then from there it will be filtered out to the people and places that most need it. thank you for taking us through that. the time is 8:38am. mike has all the sports news. for those people who haven't followed football closely, sport has to evolve, competitions have to change and be reinvented, but sometimes the ideas don't go down well. yes, and if you mention european super leagues to many fans, there have already been angry tweets. a few years ago, the european super league idea is back,

they say will be on merit, not a closed shop, open to 80 clubs, but people are saying is the same wolf in disguise. the new plans have already been met with raised eyebrows. some saying it's the same old proposals in disguise, but those behind it argue it would be based on fair competition and the financial benefits would help clubs further down the footballing ladder. joe lynskey reports. april 2021, and english football's great rivals were united. say no to the super league! six premier league clubs had planned tojoin a european super league with six more from the continent. they hoped to break free from the pyramid, but instead they hit a wall. i want to apologise to all the fans, supporters of liverpool football club, for the disruption i caused over the past 48 hours. amid contrition and derision,

all six pulled out. but two years on, a sports management company has put forward new plans. a22 say the foundations of football are in danger of collapsing — it's time for change. it's the clubs that bear football's entrepreneurial risk. three clubs in europe still stand by the super league — juventus, barcelona and real madrid. they now want it to have up to 80 teams with entry based on merit, but it would still be run by the clubs. what we see today is a pretty desperate rehashing of their original concept by the the three clubs, effectively, who remain in what was the european super league, who seem to be in denial of the fact that their project is dead. football's far too important in this country and across europe to be allowed to have its future determined on the basis of the profit sheets of billionaires who own individual clubs. spain's top flight tweeted this.

"the super league is the wolf of little red riding hood and the same elitist project." the new plans have addressed some points of concern, and they say that funds will trickle down. but the esl faced a backlash football's rarely seen before. to win their sport round, it would be some come—back. joe lynskey, bbc news. the women's league cup final will have a familiar feel, after chelsea booked their place again, after thrashing west ham 7—0. sam kerr was the star of the show, scoring four, including a first half hat trick to seal a place in the final for the fourth year running. they will battle five time winners arsenal for the trophy at crystal palace's ground early next month. rangers narrowed the gap at the top of the scottish women's premier league to 4 points, thanks to a 4—0 victory overs hibs. kirsty elizabeth howart—thomson scored the pick of the bunch as she netted rangers' second and third goals. the name worcester warriors will now be part of rugby union history

after plans to start afresh in the championship next season were scrapped and so instead they are planning to rebrand as sixways rugby. warriors had been given until valentine's day to meet the sport's criteria to play in the second division. but the people leading a takeover pulled out of talks adding that "we're starting afresh. we believe it's time for a new start." so sixways, named after the site where the ground is, could start life down the fourth tier with the hope of rising again. now wrexham football club has a special ball for breakfast this morning, it's the oval match ball for the six nations game, between scotland and wales in edinburgh tomorrow. on its 555 mile journey in 55 hours, with a team of cyclists, raising money for doddie aid and motor neurone disease. led by former teamates, of former scotland captain doddie weir, who passed away in november.

the team pedalled into the night after setting off from cardiff. rhey stopped at welshpool overnight, before heading north for brekkie in wrexham. so if you're around chester, wigan, preston later this morning, look out for the team and rugby ball on the back. they have to be in edinburgh by 4.45 tomorrow afternoon, when the match known as the doddie weir cup will kick off. they have such great pace. it is coming up to quarter to nine. film directorjames cameron is behind three of the four biggest films of all time — the avatar series and titanic.

avengers and game is the other one. 25 years since jack and rose's epic love story first appeared on the big screen, the blockbuster is being re—released in cinemas today. james cameron has given his only uk broadcast interview to our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. the way of water connects all things. before your birth. and after your death. james cameron, we're speaking to you in new zealand. you are there because of avatar. which film are you making at the moment and how far through it are you? we're midstream in movie three, so all of the performance capture work with the actors has been done, all the live action work with sets and actors and 3d cameras has been done, and we're in the early part of the post—production phase where i do all the virtual cameras, so that's where i am

in the process right now on that. we cannot let you bring your war here. avatar the way of water is now the fourth biggest film of all time. how much of a relief was it to you, especially after the gap of 13 years? i don't think the gap was the issue. i think the amount of time and energy... so it's five years of production, which is where we sit today, right? we started in september of �*17 making the new films two and three together. and so after five years and i don't want to say how many hundreds of millions of dollars, it's an enormous relief that the investment of time and energy and artistic intensity has paid off. and we get to do parts three, four and five. i believe everything's designed right through to the whole end of the saga. i need you with me. and i need you to be strong.

and congratulations on the four oscar nominations, including best picture. how much do they still mean to you? i try to have it mean less than it does, but i'm not capable. i think we all get a little enraptured by it. there's something very enticing about the glamour of hollywood. is there a case that the oscars actually needs avatar the way the water more than avatar needs the oscars? i now see movies like avatar as being the film that helps get the tune—in and the film that can be the goliath that must die so that david can win. so, you know, but i will remind the academy that in order for us to be the goliath that is slain by david, we have to be nominated. well, let's go from talking about the fourth biggest film of all time to the third biggest film of all time. listen to me, i've got you, i won't let go. how do you feel returning

to titanic after 25 years? i think titanic, the film means a lot of different things to a lot of different people around the world. maybe a teenage memory, maybe a first date memory, maybe somebody that they're married to now and have six kids. who knows? open your eyes. i'm flying. when people are going out to the cinema these days, they want a guarantee that it's going to be a satisfying experience of some kind, right? they don't want to gamble as much as they used to be willing to gamble. titanic fits squarely in that category. you're going to cry. i'll never let go, jack. you may think you won't, but you will. now, there has been so much talk over the years about jack and rose and who could have got on the door. could jack have survived? and you've actually been making a documentary. so i was really curious to see what that did to jack�*s situation. and it's pretty interesting.

why does it matter? first of all, it doesn't matter at all. secondly, it's even a bad idea to question it. you don't question greek tragedies. did oedipus really need to rip his own eyes out? now let's get to the forensics, which i'm always fascinated by anything to do with science. so it's like everybody really wants to know the answer. let's get some hypothermia experts and let's restage the whole thing and let's rig these young folks up with a bunch of sensors and see what really would have happened. because i am curious. i can say that we definitively resolve this and i have no intention of telling you what the answer is. i will say this — the results were very interesting and not entirely what i expected. you've had kate winslet in avatar. now you must stand with us. how about leonardo dicaprio in an avatar? i couldn't rule that out, but there are a number of new characters that get introduced along the way, so i couldn't rule that out. i'll have to talk to him about that.

i would never cast somebody to tick a box. you know, it would have to make sense to him and it would have to make sense to me. now, i can imagine because the avatar films have this big embedded environmental context that, because he's such an environmental activist, he might want to do something. james cameron, thank you very much for speaking to us. yeah, it was good talking to you. thanks very much. i'm watching matt watching that. quite taken. were you in the moment? i never went to see you. haste quite taken. were you in the moment? i never went to see you.— i never went to see you. have you never seen — i never went to see you. have you never seen it? — i never went to see you. have you never seen it? i — i never went to see you. have you never seen it? i saw _ i never went to see you. have you never seen it? i saw it _ i never went to see you. have you never seen it? i saw it for - i never went to see you. have you never seen it? i saw it for the - never seen it? i saw it for the first time _ never seen it? i saw it for the first time over _ never seen it? i saw it for the first time over christmas. - never seen it? i saw it for the first time over christmas. my| first time over christmas. my daughter's love it and they are off to watch it in the cinema in 3d this weekend. bi

west this morning with rain or drizzle around and over the coming hours in the highlands and islands of the rain will turn heavier and more persistent. getting a south as loch lomond by the end of the afternoon. rain and drizzle in the west of england and wales and maybe northern ireland. gusty winds in the north but the highest temperatures, 13 in parts of north—east scotland. well above the early february average. it sets us up for a milder night tonight. frost free across the country. plenty of cloud around with some breaks but the cloud could be taken off in western scotland for a light rain and drizzle. but here are the temperatures for the star of the weekend. 5—9. not far off afternoon highs this time of year. saturday will be mild, lots of cloud, cloudier across the south, there could be drizzle here and there but most will have a dry day on saturday. and afternoon temperatures

11-13 saturday. and afternoon temperatures 11—13 widely. saturday finishes mild, may be a chance of some frost into sunday, temperatures close to freezing where the cloud breaks. high pressure is in charge to the south—east of us saw air coming from the atlantic and continuing on sunday. cloud again, missed patches on the hills, may be some drizzle but most places will get through the weekend dry, and sunday is staying mild even if the temperatures are down a little bit on saturday. temperatures drop more on monday but we still start the week a few degrees above where we should be in this part of february. then a high pressure stays close to the east, so the wind comes from the south. no beast from the east and the forecast so it will be a dry week for many in the south and east. maybe north and west with a few spots of drizzle. mild by day but we cannot rule out

frost overnight. but another is cold —— nothing as cold as we have seen over the past few nights. tributes are being paid to one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century, burt bacharach, who's died aged 94. he worked with some of music's biggest stars, winning six grammys and three oscars during his seven—decade career. let's take a look at some of his work. # i don't know what to do with myself. # baby, if a new love ever turns you down. # what's it all about, alfie? # is itjust for the moment we live? # just like me, they long to be close to you. # what's new, pussycat? # whoa, whoa!

# for ever, for ever, you'll stay in my heart # and i will love you. # for ever, for ever, we never will part #. joining us now to reflect on burt bacharach's career is broadcaster bob harris. have you had that moment like a lot of people have where you have gone and listened to a whole load of bert bacharach songs? yes, and what an incredible catalogue of songs, one of the great writers of all time. his music takes me right back to my childhood because in their 50s, the late 50s, my mum used to absolutely love an artist called perry como, way before

the time of most people watching i should imagine in 1958 he had a double sided number one record in the charts here, catch a falling star was one side. and on the other side was magic moments and burt bacharach was the writer of that. i can take my enjoyment and appreciation of burt bacharach right back to the 50s. it’s appreciation of burt bacharach right back to the 50s.— back to the 50s. it's interesting ou talk back to the 50s. it's interesting you talk about _ back to the 50s. it's interesting you talk about that _ back to the 50s. it's interesting you talk about that song - back to the 50s. it's interesting you talk about that song magic| you talk about that song magic moments, because his music stands the test of time, that song was used in an advert for confectionery in the 90s. he worked with contemporaries and kept his music up

to date. , . ,., ., to date. very much so. in the late 90s he worked _ to date. very much so. in the late 90s he worked with _ to date. very much so. in the late 90s he worked with elvis - to date. very much so. in the late | 90s he worked with elvis costello. he appeared at glastonbury only seven or eight years ago. i think successive generations have discovered his music, even if they didn't necessarily know that this particular song was written by him, if that makes sense. i spoke to a group of 20—year—olds yesterday and i mentioned to them a song called raindrops keep falling on my head and the said they didn't think they knew it and i began to hum it to them and they recognised it. even if people don't realise that particular song was written by burt bacharach, they know the song. anyway, his

music has such an incredibly timeless quality to it. the songs are great songs whichever way you look at them. the only time there was ever any doubt about the longevity was in the 70s when the big rock bands came along and at that moment, that sound, see the carpenters, it was regarded as a bit uncool, but that was the only time his music fell out of sync one of what was going on around him. he is one of the greatest writers ever. looking at pictures from glastonbury. take us through these tributes. dionne warwick, who had a number of hits written by burt bacherach, including the look of love, said they had laughs

and run—ins, but that his death was like "losing a family member". sheryl crow said getting to know burt was one of the great thrills of her life, calling him one of the greatest songwriters of all time. co—founder of the beach boys brian wilson has also paid tribute, writing that burt was a giant in the music business and one of his heroes. and noel gallagher simply said "rip maestro — it was a pleasure to have known you". it is interesting, bob, you will know this, there were people throughout his career, sort of book ended, you talk about the 60s, and much more recently there were artists who wanted to work with him and saw him as an inspiration. imilton and saw him as an inspiration. when ou have and saw him as an inspiration. when you have someone _ and saw him as an inspiration. when you have someone so _ and saw him as an inspiration. when you have someone so creatively - you have someone so creatively brilliant, and i think actually, charlie, one of the things we have overlooked slightly, as his maestro like piano playing. and the sound he created on the piano, he was very distinctive in that respect as well. i think anybody interested in

creating music wants to be close to one of the great creators and i think there is no doubt about the fact that burt bacharach was one of the great creators.— the great creators. thank you very much. the great creators. thank you very much- we — the great creators. thank you very much. we will— the great creators. thank you very much. we will all— the great creators. thank you very much. we will all go _ the great creators. thank you very much. we will all go and - the great creators. thank you very much. we will all go and listen - the great creators. thank you very much. we will all go and listen to | the great creators. thank you very | much. we will all go and listen to a bit more burt bacharach today and enjoy the moment. i did exactly that yesterday. i remember so many songs ijust yesterday. i remember so many songs i just didn't associate with him. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8.59.
